This will be a weekly post.
Count is now 129 judges confirmed.
84 District Court judges
43 Circuit Court judges
2 Supreme Court justices
Thank you Cotton.
My contribution is a comparison to Zero.
By July 2011 Zero had confirmed
2 Supreme Court Justice
19 Court of Appeals
70 District Court
The vast majority of these were approved unanimously.

Thank you!
He’s beginning to change the complexion of the judicial system.
My contribution is Senate vote analysis.
I count six judges in the last 10 days, so I'll do all six.
ALL Republicans voted "YES" (Or "Not Present") on ALL six nominations.
Bress - Ninth Circuit - All Democrat “NO” votes
Phipps - Third Circuit - 3 Red State Democrat “YES” votes
Wetherell - N.D. Florida - 25 Democrat “YES” votes
Ranjan - W.D. Penn - 28 Democrat “YES” votes
Leichty - N.D. Indiana - 32 Democrat “YES” votes
Corker - E.D. Tenn - 3 Red State Democrat “YES” votes

He’s probably toast. And should be. Another Souter.
I’d say he’s beginning to change it back. Despite all the progress that’s been made - and I’m delighted by it - it still doesn’t totally counter the damage Obama did yet.
It concerns me when so many Democrats vote yes.
Yep. He and the one very shaky Republican from Hawaii that Trump nominated for the 9th Circuit are the only two Trump judicial nominees I’ve disagreed with. Hopefully we can stop this one and get a good Federalist Society member in his place.
Agree.
Trump nominates way too many judges who get heavy Democratic support.
Trump has actually nominated one confirmed judge who got heavy Republican resistance.
From memory - one Circuit judge got 24 Republican “NO” votes.
How does that happen?
Trump has actually pulled two District nominees who got intense Democrat resistance.
But when 24 Republicans are going to vote “NO,” he let’s the nominee go through?
Political insanity.
President Trump is running out of Federalist Society members to appoint to the Federal courts... ;-)

NARAL soils their Little Girl Panties over Corker:
Clifton Corker
Corker served as president of the anti-choice Students for America group at James Madison University, and has written several deeply offensive, sexist op-eds.
House adjourns July 26 on Friday. Senate adjourns one week later August 2.
What does Turtle have planned in next two weeks?
Next week, Senate will consider budget deal, confirm judges and two senior officials
While House members could leave the Capitol for August recess as early as Thursday night, the Senate has work still to be done, including clearing the budget and debt limit deal and confirming 19 judicial nominations.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said that in addition to the judges, the Senate would be prioritizing confirmation of David Norquist to be deputy secretary of Defense and Kelly Knight Craft to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
“Here’s what we need to accomplish before members depart next week: we need to confirm well-qualified nominees to two open positions of utmost importance ... these jobs are important, the nominees are impressive, and we need to confirm David Norquist and Kelly Craft next week,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “Obviously, we need to pass the bipartisan funding agreement that President Trump’s negotiating team worked out with Speaker Pelosi. The House will pass it today. The president is strongly in support of it.”
“We need make more headway on the backlog of qualified judicial nominees who are waiting for confirmation,” McConnell said, as he and Trump have been touting the statistics on the record-setting pace of judicial confirmations so far in the current administration.
When all was said and done, McConnell had filed cloture on 19 of President Donald Trump’s nominees to be district judges, a list that McConnell described as bipartisan. It included nominees from states with both Democratic and Republican senators, including states with only Democrats like Illinois and Rhode Island.
I’m looking forward to that Saturday morning post!
